I like Hagberg, but this did not reach the typical Hagberg levels.. Much too predictable throughout.

I never thought for a minute that the president would give in to the demands of a mad man especially for that amount of money. But as the time was running out, I wasn't sure he would risk the lives of his Constitutes, Innocent people who had no idea they were about to die a very painful death. I also wasn't sure how one mean,Lane,could stop the madman Speyer. Very heart stopping to the end. Very exciting ending.
All the action of a Clive Cussler novel, with none of the fun.
The first chapter was great. If the rest of the book was like the first chapter, I would have loved the whole thing. The book's description draws you in with the promise of secret Nazi experiments that are about to be unleashed on the modern world. Sounds great! I love adventure novels with historical twists. But not this one.
There were too many characters. The author likes to jump from scene to scene, and I couldn't keep track of the various characters that kept popping in. If you're going to introduce a lot of characters, at least INTRODUCE them so we know why they are in the story.
Most frustratingly, after the Nazi threat is revealed, the background of it is never discussed again. Are you effing kidding me? It made no sense and it wasn't ever explained properly. I finished this, hoping it would be explained in the end. Nope. Will I read anything else by this author? Nope.
